I wanted to know if anyone over here has got the Minerva dac from Weiss. What is the sound like? also can one up-sample to 192KHz and stream it to the DAC?
Update: I heard the Weiss Minerva and Berkeley Alpha DAC again tonight, different system. This time, the Weiss was the hands-down better sounding unit. Fabulous.
Interesting I'm looking forward to getting my Minerva by sometime in Jan (Waiting for it to be shipped) I'm hoping it betters my Audio Aero Prestige!, I'm looking for a DAC only solution that can connect to my server without a sound card. Hopefully this does the trick!
Correction -- it was the Medea I heard, not the Minerva. Both DACs were fed by a Slim Devices Transporter via SPDIF. An external word clock was in use with the Transporter. Goldmund monoblock amplifiers diving modified large Tonian loudspeakers.
I am pretty sure I had the Minerva driven by iTunes at 192 kHz. I can try again tomorrow and see the highest frequency at which the Minerva locks. This was with a Macbook Pro.
